Importing Managed Content into Other Features

This section discusses how to import Managed Content.

Using the Add Content page (EPPCM_PUB_SELECT), you can import Managed Content into these publishing features:

• News publications

• Categorized content

• Content pagelets

• Manage navigation

• Discussion forums

• Action items

• Calendar events

To import managed content:

1. Browse folders to navigate to the folder where you want to import the managed content.

   For example, select Content Management > Categorized Content > Browse Folders.

2. Click the Add Content button.

   The Add Content page appears, enabling you to specify the type of content that you want to import to a published feature folder.

3. Select the Managed Content option as the content type, and then click the OK button.

   The Managed Content search page appears.

   Note: The Select Managed Content page is displayed when accessed from an action item. Other features use a common search page to select Managed Content to import.

4. Enter search criteria to filter the search results.

5. Click the Search button.

6. Select the content item that you want to import by clicking the content title.

   The Content Properties page appears with the content item's information. The origin type displays as Managed Content.

7. Use the Content Properties page to review content properties such as title, source, and summary; to specify content location; to submit content for publication; and to maintain comments or discussions specific to that piece of content, among other functions.

8. Click the Submit button to save your work and submit the content for publication.

   The new content appears in the folder with a status of pending publication. The modified date indicates when the content was approved in the Managed Content feature.
